If you use a word processing program, you can
save some of your money and spare some vital
resources with a simple step.

Set the default margins on your paper to a
smaller setting.  Word and others have a default
setting that looks good but wastes valuable
paper.  My version default is 1.25″.  I changed
it to 0.75″ on the right and left.  If you use
metric, change your default to 1 cm less.

In MS Word

1. go to File then click Page Setup. 

2. You’ll see the margins there.  You can change
them all.  I just changed the right and left.

3. Then click Default in the bottom left corner.

4. When the query box comes up, click Yes.

I use this margin setup for printing drafts and
when printing documents where appearance doesn’t
matter.  For materials that matter, such as
patient handouts, I change the margins to look
attractive.

Obviously, one of the reason I use PDFs to
deliver my books and manuals is that it spares
paper.

Go forth and save the planet.
